"Thanks Coop for info. That's great news! Then the 2000-D Lincoln cent is a doubled die with 50 degree rotation. Do you happen to know the "W" number assigned to it so I can annotate my file card? "

It was the first one John Wexler had seen. I showed him images of the rotation I found. The images for it is somewhere on the site. But he agreed it was a rotated doubled die. I have two examples of this one. One has a strong strike, the other grease struck through. No major markers that I've noticed. But it appears to be in later die strikes. So quite a few of them must have been made. I have noticed an interesting area on the U on UNITED. Towar the rim there is a double die flow line on the right upright above the letter to the rim. Also on one a die gouge on the West side of the N on UNITED. On both examples I see on the lower loop of the U on the left side a small die flow line. Almost looks like a dot, but definitely looks like a later die marker. But the rest of the coins are about the same except one is a strike through grease and the other stronger strike has some machine doubling on the N of UNITED. If you would like to see images I could shot some up for you.
The number John gave it was : 2000-D WDDR-001
I sent him in a 1999-D with another different mark on it he listed also. He found it interesting as well, a differnent rotated strike left on the pedistal.
